This not-for-profit event is organized each year by Chris Chopik of EvolutionGreen.Com and human capital partner Green Neighbours 21, and numerous other ENGOs. There is also an Inorganic Market™ taking place – you can drop off used or broken electronic items for free recycling. Laptops, desktops, iPods, mp3 players, cell phones and more will be collected. Come out, meet the community, and enjoy the fun!

One of the more intriguing actions you can participate in is The Inorganic Market™, which "is a citizen-based approach to raise awareness about the issue of electronic waste based on community engagement through education and creative expression.The event includes community members’ creative expression through an activity, art, writing, or performance."

You can turn in your "laptops, desktops, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, ipods, mp3 players, power bars, any type of wires and cables, speakers, keyboards, mice, video game consoles, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS’s), cell phones and routers. Components will be reused or recyled. Collections will take place in the parking lot of Arlington Middle School from 11 am to 5 pm"
